Title: 'Names' at large tourneys
Post by: Graham C on July 26, 2006, 12:37:33 PM
I've read the blogs by various people and it seems common for names within the game to end up next to other names - is this deliberate, do they seperate the Names, or has anyone got a chance of sitting next to a star of the poker world?

Totally random...in the UK it is a Gaming Com rule that this is enforced

In some major events worldwide, perhaps because of the need to provide interesting TV tables, it is a matter of debate whether it is totally random

Was there not a tournament recently in France where the "random" draw was done alphabetically prompting Snpoyo to threaten to change his name to Kendaly?  :D
